The 2020 Census is Here!

The census is a count of every person who lives in the United States and its territories that happens every 10 years. Every household is required to complete a Census questionnaire after receiving a postcard notification from the U.S. Census Bureau. Respond online at my2020census.gov, or call 1-844-3030-2020 to respond by phone or respond by mail.

It is important that everyone in the household is counted, including renters or extended family members.
